C.F. Pope Elementary School will open for the first day of school Monday, August 24, as scheduled.
The latest testing showed great improvements after the remediation. Based on the results though, we still have two classrooms in need of additional remediation. Those rooms will remain closed off to students and staff until the work has been completed and test results are in normal range. All work will be completed after hours.
Those two rooms will remain closed and sealed off while the work is completed. No students or staff will use the rooms during that time. The two classrooms will temporarily meet in other classrooms.
Each classroom in that area has its own air handler. Rooms do not share air with the classrooms around them, allowing the two rooms to be isolated while the rest of the school operates normally.
Additional cleaning will be completed in the two classrooms, followed by another round of testing before the classrooms are used again.
PCS will continue to keep families updated as the additional work and testing are completed.
